Route description

The route currently begins at Interstate 580 near Mills College in East Oakland and continues north as the Warren Freeway, named after former California Governor and U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice Earl Warren. The four-lane freeway takes a largely straight path as it runs through a scenic valley. This valley, and hence the highway, almost directly follow the Hayward Fault, and it is predicted that in a major earthquake on that fault, this section of SR-13 may sustain heavy damage. Another Interstate 580 exists in Reno, Nevada, but is signed only as US 395. ... Mills College is a private womens liberal arts college located in Oakland, California, USA.

On a clear day, the Oakland segment of the freeway offers some spectacular views of the San Francisco Bay Area.

After going through an interchange with California State Route 24 near the entrance to the Caldecott Tunnel, however, 13 takes drastic changes in its quality and capacity. The freeway ends at an uphill junction and the route is defaulted onto Tunnel Road, a much more narrow two-lane road that bends to the west and winds downhill through a deep forest. Upon reaching the foot of the hill, the street renames itself to Ashby Avenue, a markedly urban (and very busy) two-lane street with an east-west routing. Entering Berkeley, UC Berkeley is north on Telegraph Avenue, while a BART station is located at Adeline Street. Past San Pablo Avenue (California State Highway 123), Route 13 (as Ashby Avenue) runs through a more modest neighborhood before reaching its current end at Interstate 80.

History

Route 13 was to have been a freeway bypass of Oakland and Berkeley and would have extended south from its present end to the Nimitz Freeway (Route 880). (State law describes an even longer Route 13, which would start further south at Route 61 and end at an unconstructed part of Route 61 west of Emeryville. The latter end would require an interchange over water!) However, local resistance to further freeway construction in Oakland prevented the extension. Similar resistance in Berkeley has kept Route 13 from being built as a freeway north of Route 24, hence its role as a surface street. Interstate 880 is a regional bypass interstate highway in the Bay Area metropolitan area of Northern California. ... JUNCTION POSTMILE SR-17 SCL 0. ...
